Winning the lottery can be easier than you think when you pair up a good strategy with a good system.

While the win rate can be as high as 98% with a lottery system, there are ways you can increase the amount of prizes or jackpots you receive in that last 2%.

One of the most effective ways is selecting the right day to play.

If you choose a day where fewer players take part, that means you will share any prizes among a smaller number of winners. That gives you a bigger slice of pie.

It's not uncommon to see a major jackpot being shared between several winners. And that can be pretty devastating when your $20 million potential win becomes just $5 million because it is shared among other winners.

One of the ways you can avoid this is by choosing a play day with a low number of participants.

If your lottery game has a selection of draw days in the week, say Wednesday and Saturday, you often find one of these days is less popular for ticket sales.

And the obvious way to find this out is to march down to your lottery store, and in the course of a casual conversation ask the staff what days are the most popular for your game.

They are likely to know more about big attendances in their store than the small ones which are harder to judge, and if you have asked right, they'll gladly open up with the details.

Armed with that knowledge, you simply buy on the less popular draw days.

Fewer players means fewer winners.

And that means more of the winning share for you!
